Break it down

Church is very different for a lot of people now than it used to be.  With the surge of mega-churches, church goers are expecting a very high level of production from the service and a message that can easily be applied to what is going on in their world.  The 9:45 Sunday School hour has all but been extinguished due in part to the logistics of figuring out how to put over a thousand people in separate rooms at one time.  Most of these large churches are offering some type of small group program to replace the Sunday School hour.  These small groups typically meet in homes during the week, and give members a chance to get to know each other at a deeper level than can be attained by sitting next to them in the worship center.  The small group is also meant to serve as a support group for members going through tough times, and in the best small groups, provides accountability.  Caroline and I just signed up for a new small group at our home church, The Vine.  If you are looking for a church around Braselton, we would love for you to join us.  If you are attending a church, but not in a small group, now is a great time to get connected.  I would love to hear about your small group experiences.
